My pc's half decent i think, but i have the urge to upgrade it, but i have kinda limited funds right now.

Currently i have
i5 2500k @4.4ghz
Antec Kuhler 920 with 2 Enermax pwm fans
Stormtrooper case
Lepa 750w PSU Bronze Edition
128gb SSD
1tb F3 Sammy
7870 (buying a 290Pro soon as non refs come along)
Z68 Asrock Ex4 Gen3 mobo
16gb Corsair Vengeance Black Ram

I have about £600 to spend, although roughly £350 of that will go on an R9 290 i guess, so that leaves about £250. Im not sure what i should spend it on, i was tempted to swap the Kuhler 920 for a H100i, and see if i could push my chip further. Or Swap my CM Stormtrooper for another case, not sure which. I was toying with the idea of a custom water loop, but not sure i i want the hassle.

Any thoughts? :)
 
I have a Logitech G510 Keyboard which i love and a Logitech G300 mouse which also does me fine as im a lefty and it fits perfect :)

Could just bank the cash i guess for a Haswell CPU and Mobo when the refresh happens, if it happens etc. So tempted to buy another case or something though, or swap the Kuhler 920 for a H100i or something similar. Ideally i would like to run my i5 faster but keep it cool, without resorting to a full loop.
